Minority criticises Majority’s  inability to form quorum in Parliament

The  New Patriotic Party (NPP), Minority of Parliament, has raised concerns about the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Majority caucus’s inability to mobilise at least 91 Members of Parliament (MPs) to form quorum for proceedings of the House to commence.

Mr Habib Iddrisu, the First Deputy Minority Whip, said despite the NDC having 183 MPs and an additional four independent MPs, totalling 187, the NDC struggled to meet the required quorum.

The First Deputy Minority Whip expressed the concern when addressing the Parlia­mentary Press Corps after the adjournment of the House on Friday due to the lack of quo­rum to do business.

Mr Iddrisu, also a New Patri­otic Party (NPP) MP for Tolon, stated that the actions of the Majority had sparked questions about an alleged internal divi­sions or lack of commitment to their legislative duties.

He said, “We are concerned about the NDC’s inability to meet quorum, it’s a clear indica­tion of their weakness and lack of commitment to their duties.”

Mr Iddrisu added that, “This is a wake-up call for the NDC to get their act together and ad­dress the internal issues that are hindering their ability to govern effectively.”

He called on the NDC to demonstrate greater accountabil­ity and transparency in gover­nance. —GNA
